Creators
Description
Prociphilus (Prociphilus) fraxini (Fabricius, 1777)
Diagnosis
Apterae 1.8–2.7 mm, pale, wax-covered. Very similar to P. bumeliae, but with posterior wax gland plates on head weakly developed, sometimes absent. Diagnosis based on Heie (2004). Holocyclic and dioecious, alternating between Fraxinus excelsior (Oleaceae) and roots of Abies, where wax-covered colonies are formed. Not ant-attended.
Recorded secondary hosts
Pinaceae: Abies alba, balsamea, nordmanniana, sibirica, spp.
Distribution
D N S.
Remarks
Holman (2009) also lists Prociphilus (Stagona) xylostei from Abies roots. See under Picea (entry A17, p. 17).
